Feed Hoppers

Hopper Before and After Fog and Wind Screen Enclosure

DSI has successfully controlled dust from a variety of Smelter material handling operations. One common application is Feed Hoppers for reclaiming materials from storage buildings and piles. Sometimes the material may have toxic components that can easley become airborne potentially damaging equipment, posing risk to operators and possibly entering storm-water drain systems. Cleaning up dust generated from these operations to prevent this can be very costly and time consuming. If the dust can be contained within the material handling system, a facility can come into compliance, reduce operating cost and increase operator safety.

Dry Fog Systems can help contain dust generated from loaders,trucks dumping into hoppers and reclaim feeders. If the hopper is in the open, we can combine Dry Fog with DustTamer Wind Screens to reduce the effects of ambient wind.
